Why Georgia
Buy on your passport
A foreign buyer needs no permit, tax number or local bank account — a passport is enough.
Registered in days
Title transfer is registered at the House of Justice in one to four working days, depending on the tariff.
5% rental income tax
Rental income of individuals is taxed at 5%. There is no transfer tax on the purchase itself.
Two different markets
Tbilisi offers steady demand and predictable long lets. Batumi follows the resort season, so a model built on peak months overstates the annual yield.
Residence from $150,000
Since 1 March 2026 the short-term residence threshold is $150,000, measured by the property's appraised value rather than the price paid. The appraisal is ordered before filing.

How the purchase works
- 1
We map your goal
Goal, budget and timing. The goal picks the city: long-let income and resort letting are different properties.
- 2
We shortlist
Options from the catalogue, plus what is not in it — sourced from developers and partners on request.
- 3
We check the register
Owner, encumbrances and land status from the public register, before any money moves.
- 4
Purchase agreement
Notarisation is not required, but we recommend it where a foreign party is involved.
- 5
Title registration
The House of Justice, one to four working days. The deal can run on a power of attorney — no travel required.
- 6
Extract and handover
We collect the register extract. For a rental, we hand the property to management and start letting.
What clients say
They modelled the yield on real rates, not brochure ones. When I quoted a figure from someone else's deck, they showed me where it came from and why it was inflated.
Marek W. · Investor · Poland
The residence threshold went up mid-process. They reworked the shortlist for the new figure and explained that the appraised market value counts, not the price paid.
Ольга К. · Residence applicant · Belarus
Bought remotely and never flew to Georgia. Video viewings, developer checks, a deal by power of attorney — no surprises.

Frequently asked questions
What does a foreigner need to buy property in Georgia?+
A valid passport. No permits, local tax number or Georgian bank account are required for the transaction. One restriction applies: agricultural land is not available to foreigners, though urban property is unaffected.
What is the current residency threshold?+
USD 150,000 — raised on 1 March 2026 from USD 100,000. This is a short-term residence permit for one year, renewed while the property is held. Separately, an investment residence permit from USD 300,000 is issued for five years.
How long does registration take?+
Usually one to four working days at the House of Justice, depending on the fee tier chosen. It is one of the fastest procedures among the countries in our catalogue. The transaction can be completed under power of attorney, without the buyer travelling.
What taxes does an owner pay in Georgia?+
There is no separate transfer tax on purchase — only a state registration fee. An individual's income from letting residential property is taxed at a flat 5%. Annual property tax is assessed by reference to total household income and is not charged below the statutory threshold.
Tbilisi or Batumi?+
They answer different questions. Tbilisi offers steadier demand and more predictable long lets. Batumi is oriented to tourism, so income is markedly seasonal. In 2025 the average price in Tbilisi was around USD 1,312 per m²; Batumi new-builds averaged USD 1,231 per m² in December 2025.
Does buying property lead to Georgian citizenship?+
No. A purchase supports a residence permit where the value threshold is met, but not citizenship. Naturalisation requires long-term residence and follows the general rules.
Will a bank lend to a foreigner?+
Georgian banks lend to non-residents only to a limited extent and at high rates, so most transactions are cash. Off-plan purchases commonly use a developer payment plan during construction.
What should I check when buying off-plan?+
The building permit, the developer's record of completed projects and the terms of the payment plan. Georgia has no escrow mechanism equivalent to Dubai's, so the developer's reliability is the main risk factor and must be assessed before the first payment.

Property prices in Georgia 2026: price per m² in Tbilisi and Batumi, and what buying costs
A new-build square metre costs roughly $1,300–1,500 on average in Tbilisi and Batumi in 2026, far more in the centre. Prices by city, by finish, the trend, and what registration and annual tax add.
Investment property in Georgia: Tbilisi vs Batumi rental yield, gross and net (2026)
Gross rental yield in Georgia is around 7–8% in 2026, but Batumi is falling toward 7% gross and 2–4% net. Here is what the data says city by city and what actually reaches your account.
Getting a mortgage in Georgia as a foreigner: banks, deposit, currency rules and the developer-instalment alternative
Georgian banks do lend to foreigners, usually with a large deposit and a short term, and a 2026 currency rule matters if you earn in lari. What to expect, and why many buyers use developer instalments instead.
Selling property in Georgia: the two-year rule, the 5% rate and the 2026 clarification
Selling a Georgian apartment you have owned for over two years is generally tax-free. Sell sooner and 5% applies. The Ministry of Finance clarified the rules in May 2026.
New-build vs resale in Georgia: frame states, developer risk and real cost
In Georgia the choice is really about handover condition, who stands behind completion and what history you inherit. Black frame, white frame, turnkey and resale compared.
Short-term rental rules in Georgia: light regulation, real tax questions
Georgia has no dedicated licensing regime for Airbnb-style lets, which is part of its appeal. What that does and does not mean for tax, registration and building rules.
Georgia for remote workers in 2026: a visa-free year, but new work-permit rules matter
Most nationalities still get 365 days in Georgia with no visa or income test. But since March 2026 a new work-permit regime applies to foreigners working or self-employed there — and how it treats remote work is not fully clear.
Why expats love living in Georgia: visa freedom, safety and real hospitality
Georgia isn't in the big international expat surveys, but on the measures that are independently documented — visa rules, safety, taxation — the country makes a genuinely strong case.

NoOverview
Georgia has the simplest procedure of any market in our catalogue: a valid passport is enough to buy, and title is registered at the House of Justice. From 1 March 2026 the residency threshold rose from USD 100,000 to USD 150,000.
Why buy here
Minimal formalities: a foreigner buys on a passport, with no permits, tax number or mandatory local account. Fast registration of title at the House of Justice — a matter of days. A low 5% rate of tax on rental income for individuals. Two markets with different logic: Tbilisi with steady demand and predictable long lets, and Batumi, which follows the tourist season.
Taxes, costs and yield
Benchmarks for taxes, purchase and holding costs and rental yield. Exact figures depend on the property and your situation.
Rental yield benchmark
6–10%
Taxes
No transfer tax on purchase. Rental income from housing is taxed at 5% for individuals. The annual property tax depends on household income.
Costs & taxes
Entry costs in Georgia are markedly lower than in Europe: there is no separate transfer tax on purchase, only a state registration fee that depends on how quickly you need it. On ownership: property tax is assessed by reference to total household annual income and is not charged below the statutory threshold. On letting: an individual's income from residential property is taxed at a flat 5%.
Buying process
1. Check the property in the public register: owner, encumbrances, land status. 2. Sale contract. Notarisation is not mandatory but is advisable where a foreign buyer is involved. 3. Register the transfer at the House of Justice — usually one to four working days depending on the fee tier chosen. 4. Receive the extract from the register. The deal can be done under power of attorney, without the buyer travelling.
Mortgages
Georgian banks lend to non-residents only to a limited extent and at high rates. The main routes are cash or a developer payment plan.
Residence & visas
From 1 March 2026 the minimum property value for a residence permit rose to USD 150,000, up from USD 100,000. This is a short-term permit, issued for a year and renewed while the property is held. A separate route is the investment residence permit from USD 300,000, issued for five years with a path to permanent status. The threshold is assessed on a valuation of the property, so the valuation is commissioned before filing.
Investment notes
Tbilisi and Batumi answer different questions. In 2025 the average residential price in Tbilisi was around USD 1,312 per square metre; in Batumi, new-build apartments averaged USD 1,231 per square metre in December 2025, up 15.4% year on year. Tbilisi offers steadier demand and more predictable long lets. Batumi is oriented to tourism, so income there is markedly seasonal and a calculation based on peak months overstates the annual yield.
Risks to consider
What to bear in mind: — agricultural land is not available to foreigners; the restriction does not apply to urban property; — the residency threshold rose to USD 150,000 on 1 March 2026, and offers still quoting USD 100,000 are out of date; — yield in Batumi is calculated across the year, not the season; — for off-plan property, check the building permit and the developer's track record: there is no escrow mechanism equivalent to Dubai's. Checked in September 2026. Thresholds, rates and programme terms change — confirm the current requirements with a lawyer in the country before you buy.
